ST9 Break line issue when opening ST8 version draft file

I am having an issue with break lines not being the same in ST9 as they are in ST8.

I have many draft file with 2 top views of an assembly. One of the views has some components exploded. Views are aligned with Keypoint - vertical settings. There is a break line in one view that is inherited in 2nd view.

Draft file needs assembly updated. File needs updated due to a change in part file for shell (204.par) When I open assembly in ST8, update all open documents, save & close. it looks as it should, it does need 2 dims reattached to a different location on shell, but this is normal. And when same draft just updated and saved in ST8 is then opened in ST9 it also looks as it should.

Problem is when file is opened in ST9, without 1st being updated in ST8, it still needs updating. When update is done on assembly, same procedure as in ST8, the break lines loose the inheritance.

To make it worse, when I try to fix break line inheritance, the modifying of break lines is nothing like it was in ST8, I can't get it to work.

I attached complete tree of model from ST9 Design manager via pack and go of files with no updates. 'break lines.zip'

Pictures attached:

'ST8 break lines.jpg' this is after model upodate & draft update.

'ST9 before update.jpg', this is after model update, but before draft update.

'ST9 before after.jpg', this is after model & draft update.

I have MP2 installed for ST9.

ST9 is a clean install on a laptop I have had for 2 days, so it is pristine Windows 7 64 bit.. I have made no changes to SE options yet, it is pure vanilla. I was just testing & experimenting with ST9 when I found this. ST8 files where checked on another PC.

I also attached screen capture of About SE screen for reference. 'ST9 version.jpg'

Re: ST9 Break line issue when opening ST8 version draft file

I had a similar issue with detail views in ST9 that has been confirmed by GTAC as a bug. As a workaround, GTAC told me to select CTRL+SHIFT > Update Views to regenerate the view and it worked for me. You might try that and see if it works.

Re: ST9 Break line issue when opening ST8 version draft file

I sent GTAC an example of break line issues I am having in ST9 today and got a very prompt reply.

Issue is related to drawing views that are aligned using keypoint rather than drawing center. Drawing center does not properly (in my opinion) align 2 top views when one of them is exploded.

They had previous reports of issue and are working on it. Fix may not be until MP4 or MP5 I was informed.
